PROTECTING THE DEVELOPER’S INVESTMENT ACROSS THE
ENTIRE PROJECT CYCLE
INTRODUCING CH•IV: THE LNG SPECIALISTSCH•IV International was established in 1991 as CH•IV Corporation. The company provides consulting services to LNG asset developers, regulators, facility owners, operators and lenders to ensure assets are designed, developed, constructed and operated safely and in accordance with codes, regulations, and the project’s technical and commercial specifications.
CH•IV has provided services to the majority of US LNG export projects that sit before the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and many small-scale LNG production projects designed under the US Department of Transportation PHMSA vapor dispersion siting criteria. CH•IV is also a technical leader in the design of LNG bunkering systems for ships.
CH•IV specializes in the provision of LNG engineering and consulting services to the global LNG sector including North America, Asia, Africa, Europe, the Pacific Rim, and South America.
CH•IV’s specialization in the LNG sector and permitting has enabled the development of design standards and models that allow the company to be more agile and responsive than its larger competitors.
In 2014 CH•IV was acquired by Australia’s premier oil and gas contractor Clough Limited. CH•IV will continue to act independently and can now leverage complementary skills and synergies across the entire LNG spectrum to provide a significantly strengthened LNG service to clients.
PRODUCTS & SERVICES CH•IV provide the full spectrum of LNG consulting and design services from feasibility through to operation, to protect the developer’s investments across the entire project cycle. Specialised LNG products and services include import and export terminals, small scale and peakshaving facilities, regulatory support and production engineering and consulting.

KEY PROJECTS
CLIENT: EcoEléctrica
PROJECT: LNG Import Terminal
LOCATION: Puerto Rico
SCOPE: Owner’s engineering support including preparation of FEED for terminal expansion and LNG trailer loading station, procurement specifications for major equipment, EPC contractor scope of work, and oversight of detailed design.
CLIENT: Magnolia LNG, Houston, Texas, USA
PROJECT: Magnolia LNG Project
LOCATION: USA, Louisiana
SCOPE: Owners engineer contract providing technical and project execution support personnel to Magnolia, overseeing engineering, procurement, construction contractor KSJV, as the project moves through detailed design, construction, commissioning and start-up.
CLIENT: Freeport LNG
PROJECT: Freeport LNG Project
LOCATION: USA, Texas
SCOPE: Pre-FEED services investigating the design and regulatory requirements for converting the existing LNG import terminal to a world class LNG production and export facility. This was followed by the award of the Balance of Plant FEED for the 13.4 MPTA 3 train liquefaction facility, and more recently followed by the entire Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) FEED for a new Train IV.
CLIENT: Energy World Corporation
PROJECT: PT South Sulawesi LNG Facility
LOCATION: Indonesia
SCOPE: Front end engineering design (FEED) for the balance of plant for this 2.0 (expandable to 5.0) MTPA gas liquefaction and marine export facility.
LNG IMPORT AND EXPORT FACILITIES SMALL SCALE AND PEAKSHAVING FACILITIES
CLIENT: State of Connecticut
PROJECT: Waterbury LNG Facility
LOCATION: USA, Central Connecticut
SCOPE: Engineering services to assure regulatory compliance. This included review and oversight of the design, safety and operational aspects of the facility, encompassing: RFP bid packages, EPC scope of work, design calculations, detailed drawings, procedures and manuals, project specifications and construction.
CLIENT: Eversource Energy
PROJECT: Access Northeast LNG Facility
LOCATION: Acushnet, Massachusetts, USA
SCOPE: CH•IV initially provided the feasibility and siting analysis and the pre-FEED package for Access Northeast LNG Facility (the world’s largest peakshaver facility). Upon completion CH•IV was awarded the Front End Engineering Design (FEED) for permitting with US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) that will serve as the technical portion of the EPC bid package for the new LNG peakshaver.
CLIENT: Harvey Gulf International Marine
PROJECT: LNG Marine Fueling Facility
LOCATION: Port Fourshon, Louisiana, USA
SCOPE: CH•IV provided the engineering for the EPC and permitting support for the first permanent LNG Marine Fueling facility in the US. The facility fuels LNG-powered offshore support vessels (OSV) and supports critical operations for the offshore oil and gas industry.
CLIENT: National Grid
PROJECT: Natural Gas Liquefier Feasibility Study
LOCATION: USA, New England
SCOPE: Study to evaluate a series of options to replace total historical LNG peakshaving liquefaction capacity at four different locations. The study considered a variety of liquefaction capacities, liquefaction technologies and electric or gas turbine drive. The study also considered siting criteria, permitting limitations and LNG trucking access. Capital and operations and maintenance cost estimates were generated for 16 different cases.
LNG PRODUCTION ENGINEERING CONSULTING SERVICES
